LG Electronics unveiled the company's first nettop, based on the NVIDIA ION platform. Measuring roughly 1l in volume, the LG XPION X30 resembles similar offerings from Medion, Gateway, and Acer. The unit weighs under 1.1 kg (2.42 lbs). Under its hood is an Intel Atom 230 single-core processor running at 1.6 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M graphics integrated into the ION chipset, 2 GB of memory, and 250 GB storage. It comes with Windows Vista Home Basic pre-loaded and comes with an attachment that lets the unit latch onto some monitors probably using the VESA wall-mount, so it could be neatly tucked away to save space. It is expected to hit retail tomorrow.

Looks to me like they have created an upgradeable all-in-one pc.
I know it is not "classified" as one, but still. If they release other lines of these nettops,
it should be easy to swap out.
I know Sony had something similar with their TV's, but it was to hold a DVD player.
Meh, still a cool idea nonetheless.

also, atoms are low heat, and can take heat. if it can handle running in a fanless laptop, it can handle this.

Maybe its a non issue on 2009 model LCDs, but all else that i have come in contact with produce some sort of heat that is vented in that general area. I mean, obviously they have thought this through, and they aren't the first people to go about it, but it still seems like there would be some sort of complication.. i dunno.

the vents are usually on the top, whereas this is on the back. its near the heat, but not in a direct path from it
